A mg34 and a mg42 and lots of other neat "toys". Thanks for sharing that site.

Later 42rocker

Very cool, thanks for posting that. So we can just call in and make an offer? I wonder what the highest bid in the auction was?

My notes say it was bid at $22,500- There must have been some later issue typically they will sell items for a % of low estimate.

All of their prices show $0.00

I think that something is wrong as I suspect some of the listings must have sold.

RELISTED THIS SPRING March 14th **GERMAN MG-42 MADE BY MAGET (C&R). SN 4338K. Cal. 8mm Mauser. 22-1/2" bbl. Manufactured 1944 by “cra” (Maget). Includes one spare bbl marked "ar", which is Mauser manufacture, an orig vintage leather sling and one cardboard box containing post-war, non-disintegrating belts. This gun contains Nazi-era un-numbered bolt with double-ended bolt-stop device inside. Flip up anti-Aircraft sight bar is present on rear sight. Bi-pod is also Nazi marked, without adjustment knob between legs. Bbl in gun is marked "cy_ and WaA 88" (Spreewerke, Berlin). This weapon appears fully functional, firing mechanism operates when cycled by hand. Reciprocating spring is strong. Rails are in good condition. CONDITION: Overall condition and appearance in in the mid 80s with some spots of old corrosion showing here and there. Handgrip is excellent, light brown. Buttstock has two longitudinal cracks with what appears to be orig German field repair from soldering wires around stock to hold it together. There are two sets of buttstock reinforcement wires which maintain the stock as serviceable. Bore in both bbls is strong and although uncleaned, looks as though it will come out shiny and bright. Muzzle and booster also in good condition, and although uncleaned, should clean up well. Mechanism parts are in fine condition. Lots of life left in this MG-42. Evidence of condition, combined with double wire field repair to buttstock indicates that this gun "was there". 4-40504 JWK2 (20,000-30,000)

sold at auction for a respectable $23,575.00
